It may be target practice soon.
If I knew how to fix it I would. It won't print, it's full of new ink, it needs a firmware upgrade, but it refuses until I turn it off and on, 100 times. Never works, circular logic flow chart that goes nowhere. The final response is always take it to a service center. I am in the middle of Chicago and the service center is 20 miles away in the goddamn burbs. It also weighs 70 or 80 lbs and is out of warranty. I am not gonna pay them $500 to fix it.
Canon printers really suck.
I may copy William S Burroughs and make art by shooting the ink packs while inside the printer.

I've had a run of problems with my 3880s, but being pro printers, they're covered by Epson's fantastic pro service (not to be confused with their despair-inducing amateur service). My 3880s have worked flawlessly and cloglessly, until eventually succumed to cryptic error messages involving the platen gap sensor. The result has been Epson having sent me three brand new printers, fully stocked with ink.
In a sense my problem printers have been better than perfect printers, because in a year I haven't had to buy a drop of ink.
Lots of 3800's succumbed to the dreaded permanent magenta clog. I replaced mine with a 3880 2 or 3 years ago and never a single clog.
My 3800 has produced 5277 prints, large and small, and consumed over 3 liters of ink in 6 years and 8 months with negligible trouble.
Do you know your total cost of operation?
Not cost per print, simply a total spent on printer, ink and paper.
I guess I can divide that number by 5277.
Thanks, these are the numbers it's hard to get.
